Responsive Innovation: Electric Exhaust Gas Turbocharging
The heart of the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC beats with the AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Its groundbreaking innovation lies in the electric exhaust gas turbocharger—an engineering marvel pioneered by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. This innovative system incorporates an electric motor directly onto the turbocharger shaft, resulting in instantaneous response across the rev range. The turbocharger is powered by the 48-volt on-board electrical system, reaching speeds of up to 175,000 rpm and delivering exceptional air flow. By maintaining optimal operating temperatures, this technology ensures peak performance.
Precision in Design: Performance-Oriented Features
Crafted with precision and passion, the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC showcases meticulous design. The M139 engine boasts a closed-deck design for rigidity and optimal combustion pressures. The addition of NANOSLIDE technology to the cylinder linings enhances durability and reduces friction. The two-stage petrol injection system optimizes power delivery, while the sophisticated cooling system maintains the ideal temperature balance between the cylinder head and crankcase.
Unleashing Power: Performance Figures and Hybrid Innovation
Harnessing the AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC achieves an impressive 300 kW (408 hp) at 6750 rpm, accompanied by a maximum torque of 500 Nm at 5000 rpm. For brief bursts, the belt-driven starter generator provides an extra 10 kW (14 hp) boost, revealing the mild hybrid capabilities of the C 43 4MATIC. This innovation not only enhances power but also ensures seamless transitions between start-stop and gliding modes for enhanced efficiency.
Agile Handling: Advanced Transmission and Steering
